Post-Tension Slab Design, Optimization & Diagnostics

Rigorous structural engineering tailored for contractors and developers. From execution drawings to design optimization and independent diagnostics.

Review our capabilities
Mission I

Complete Post-Tension Slab Study

From initial concept to final execution, we handle the entire structural engineering lifecycle of your post-tensioned slab. Designs respect architectural constraints, applied loads, durability and fire resistance criteria.

Structural Modeling & Calculation Notes

Rigorous analysis of load descents, punching shear and deflections to ensure full code compliance.

Concrete Formwork Plans

Precise elaboration of slab geometry, drop panels and architectural openings.

Tendon Layout Drawings

Detailed profiling, routing and chair heights for the post-tensioning cables.

Passive Reinforcement Plans

Elaboration of the rebar required to supplement the PT system.

Execution Drawings

Clear, construction-ready plans delivered directly to the on-site execution team.

Mission II

Design & Material Optimization

Material over-specification directly impacts project profitability. This mission refines the design to reduce construction cost while the technical and safety margins stay exactly where the code puts them.

Material Reduction

Optimizing quantities of concrete, passive reinforcement and post-tensioning cables based on precise load behaviors.

Revised Execution Plans

Supply of all updated structural plans reflecting the newly optimized quantities.

Quantity & Cost Estimation

Accurate estimation of material quantities and overall structural costs to support your bidding process.

Mission III

Technical Diagnostics & Verification

Whether dealing with an existing post-tensioned structure or reviewing plans before construction begins, ensuring a flawless design is what keeps a project out of trouble.

Independent Expert Review

If you already have a proposed variant, you get an objective analysis of its efficiency and safety.

Code Compliance Verification

Rigorous technical diagnostics, with calculations re-run against current engineering standards.

Risk Identification

Identifying structural risks and calculation errors before the concrete is poured on site.
